How is it possible that you change spread spectrum of some clocks from main Clock Controller, while this device is not a consumer of them? Basically this means that this device does not have these clocks but yet you claim that it needs to configure spread for them!

I digged my previous answer and it was pretty clear here: 18:44 <krzk> You can, but I still have the same concerns.

Therefore, I need the > "fsl,ssc-clocks" No. That's not true. You do not need it. First, the clock inputs for this device are listed in clocks *only*. What is no there, is not an input to the device. Including also Linux aspect (missing devlinks etc). Therefore how can you configure spread spectrum on clocks which are not connected to this device? Second, I do no ask you to configure spread spectrum on other clocks, only on the ones you intent to.

I not understand this well, you mean add clocks = <xx CLK_IMX8MM_VIDEO_PLL> in the ccm dtb node? Currently the CLK_IMX8MM_VIDEO_PLL is registers by CCM driver, so impossible the add the upper clocks, unless a dedicated anatop driver is developed.

Yes. Let me re-iterate and please respond to this exactly comment instead of ignoring it. How a device can care about spread spectrum of a clock which is not supplied to this device? Why would you care about spread spectrum of some clock which is not coming to this device? Please address these precisely because we talk about this for weeks in multiple places. I finish with this patchset if you do not provide such context.

I hope we are on same page of what spread spectrum means. spread spectrum of a clock is the clock could produce freq in a range, saying [500MHz - 100KHz, 500MHz + 100KHz]. software only need to configure the middle frequency and choose the up/down border range(100KHz here) and enable spread spectrum. device: I suppose you mean the Clock Control Module(CCM) here. CCM does not care, it just accepts the PLL as input, and output divided clock to various IPs(Video here). The video IPs care about the spread spectrum of the clock. The clock hardware path is as below: OSC(24M) --> Anatop(produce PLL with spread spectrum) -> Clock Control Module(output clock to modules) -> Video IP From hardware perspective, Clock Control Module does not care spread spectrum. Video IP cares spread spectrum. > > Why would you care about spread spectrum of some clock which is not > coming to this device? device, I suppose you mean clock control module(CCM). There is no 'clocks = <&ccm CLK_IMX8M_VIDEO_PLL>' under ccm node.

I don't understand now even more. Or I understand even less now. Why binding references its own clocks via phandle? This makes no sense at all, except of course assigned clocks, but that's because we have one property for multiple cases.

And BTW if that was the point then the example is confusing because the &clk phandle is not the device node in the example but it should. Neither description says which device's clocks are these. This is expressed very poorly in the binding, look: "Phandles of the PLL" - it clearly suggests some other clocks, not its own, that's so obvious I did not even think of asking. Patchset goes slow also because of poor explanation, lack of diagrams and expecting me to remember your clock hierarchy.

Patchset goes > slow also because of poor explanation, lack of diagrams and expecting > me to remember your clock hierarchy. Dario may improve the patchset in new version. But let me just try to explain a bit more about the hardware logic, I hope this could give you some knowledge on i.MX clock and we could get some suggestions on next: OSC will generate 24MHz clock to Anatop module. Anatop module takes 24MHz as input and produces various PLLs. Clock Control Module(CCM) takes PLLs as input, and outputs the final clocks to various IPs, saying video IPs. The Anatop module could produce PLLs with spread spectrum enabled. The Clock Control module just divides the freq and output the end IPs. The end IPs cares about spread spectrum for high quality clock, the Clock Control modules does not care. Now back to binding, There is a imx8m-anatop binding fsl,imx8m-anatop.yaml for anatop and a imx8m-clock.yaml binding for clock control module. I think the patchset is to enable spread spectrum of a PLL globally, not for a specific device saying video IP here. So the patchset put the properties under the clock control module. For example, there are VPU_JPEG, VPU_DECODE, both will use video PLL with high quality. So the clock producer just produce PLLs with Spread Spectrum(SS) enabled, and put the SS properties under CCM or anatop node, not video IP nodes. We could have a talk on IRC if Dario, Abel and you are available to discuss on this topic.

Do you think it would make sense to add the PLL nodes with SSCG to the anatop node? anatop: clock-controller@30360000 { compatible = "fsl,imx8mn-anatop", "fsl,imx8mm-anatop"; reg = <0x30360000 0x10000>; #clock-cells = <1>; clk_video_pll1_ref_sel: clock-video-pll1-ref-sel@28 { compatible = "fsl,imx8mn-mux-clock"; #clock-cells = <0>; clocks = <&osc_24m>, <&clk_dummy>, <&clk_dummy>, <&clk_dummy>; fsl,anatop = <&anatop 0x28>; fsl,bit-shift = <0>; clock-output-names = "video_pll1_ref_sel"; }; clk_video_pll1: clock-video-pll1@28 { compatible = "fsl,pll14xx-clock"; #clock-cells = <0>; clocks = <&clk_video_pll1_ref_sel>; ... fsl,ssc-modfreq-hz = <6000>; fsl,ssc-modrate-percent = <3>; fsl,ssc-modmethod = "down-spread"; }; }; This example only considers the video PLL, so to be complete, it should also add the clk_audio_pll1, clk_audio_pll2 and clk_dram_pll nodes. It is based on an RFC series that I sent about a year ago, which was not accepted. In this way, the SSCG properties (i.e., "fsl,ssc-modfreq-hz", "fsl,ssc-modrate-percent" and "fsl,ssc-modmethod") would be added to the relevant nodes, and I would take only the essential parts from that series. This would still mean implementing the PLL driver ("fsl,pll14xx-clock") and its mux ("fsl,imx8mn-mux-clock"). These clocks can then be added to the "clocks" list of the "ccm" node: clk: clock-controller@30380000 { compatible = "fsl,imx8mn-ccm"; ... clocks = <&osc_32k>, <&osc_24m>, <&clk_ext1>, <&clk_ext2>, <&clk_ext3>, <&clk_ext4>, <&clk_video_pll1>, <&clk_audio_pll1>, <&clk_audio_pll2>, <&clk_dram_pll>; ... } > > > We could have a talk on IRC if Dario, Abel and you are available to > discuss on this topic.

The patch adds the DT bindings for enabling and tuning spread spectrum clocking generation. Signed-off-by: Dario Binacchi <dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com> --- Changes in v3: - Added in v3 - The dt-bindings have been moved from fsl,imx8m-anatop.yaml to imx8m-clock.yaml. The anatop device (fsl,imx8m-anatop.yaml) is indeed more or less a syscon, so it represents a memory area accessible by ccm (imx8m-clock.yaml) to setup the PLLs. .../bindings/clock/imx8m-clock.yaml | 46 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 46 insertions(+)
